1 year agoYeah new cars usually have the ability to do that themselves and also usually do it when safe.
They auto start when power is needed or if the situation changes. Eg: touch the steering or gas pedal. Another example is my car will auto start it too many cars are around me.
Shutting your non-auto starting car off and then having an emergency happen could land your ass in trouble with insurance and the law. If you’re on the road, your car should be running (unless it was designed this way). Of course people mentioned wear and tear, so that too.

Well, duh. That just means that 93-84% of Redditors are bots. Bots didn’t know there was a shutdown, so those bots kept slamming reddit. So with that data I now can assume Reddit was only 7-16% human.
